A new poll will be up shortly!

Leafpool?

Much speculation is going on about Leafpool's fate after Sunrise. Will her secret tear her away from ThunderClan? Perhaps she'll seek refuge in WindClan? Will the ThunderClan be forgiving? Or maybe life will be too much for her and she'll make the ultimate sacrifice...
Only time will tell.

Vicky (a member of the Erin Hunter crew) has stated that Leafpool will be a main character during the Omen of the Stars series. So far, that's been one of our only hints of what may be to come.

My thoughts are that Leafpool will attempt to leave ThunderClan, but, like Greystripe, she will return after descovering that ThunderClan is the only place that really accepts her. After all...she is suppose to be a main character during Omen of the Stars. Wouldn't that mean she needed to be in a Clan?

What are your thoughts? Do you think Leafpool will remain part of ThunderClan?

Huge Family Tree?

Warning, Spoilers for Sunrise...

Pinestar...a lot of people are curious about this little-known leader who lead ThunderClan before Sunstar. Pinestar had three kits, Tigerkit (Tigerclaw) and two unknown ones. Recently, Ryan had an interesting theory concerning Pinestar:

"What if Pinestar was Firestars father. It would explain why he felt drawn to the forest but of course thats just a theory."

Wow...that would mean Firestar, Scourge and Tigerstar are half-brothers. That would be an interesting twist! But...there is a rather large hole in this theory. Cinderpelt's prophecy. Remember how she saw tiger in fire? It meant the kin of Firestar and Tigerstar would be strong enough to rule the forest. (this was then followed by the three kin of your kin prophecy.) That would kind of be a mess...don't you think?

Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw would be related. Ew? That wouldn't really matter much though since Crowfeather and Leafpool are the parents of Jay, Lion and Holly.

It would be cool if Firestar and Tigerstar were half-brothers but I doubt it. :( However, you never know with the Erins! Ryan, you may see this theory come true one day. Keep a close eye on the upcoming books, perhaps the Erins will let something slip!

Keep up those awesome theories!

Hollyleaf's Secrets

Warning! The following contains spoilers for Sunrise!!

Silverstar posted another excellent theory yesterday--this time about Hollyleaf. It got me thinking why did Hollyleaf snap in the end? What possessed her to kill Ashfur and go insane? Hollyleaf's insanity seemed different from Bluestar's gradual decline. She seemed to be a perfectly good warrior, a little obsessed with the Warrior Code, but a good warrior never the less.

As an apprentice, Hollypaw was happy and showed no signs of her dark future. She had a slight dislike and suspicion of Ashfur, but nothing that may have possessed her to murder him. As she grew older though, Hollyleaf's dislike of Ashfur grew...

Eventually she became so dark that the black warrior even tried to kill her own mother, Leafpool, with death berries.

Silverstar thinks that Tigerstar and Hawkfrost may have been 'controlling' Hollyleaf from the Dark Forest. Remember how Tigerstar sent Lionblaze images of Heathertail's dead body? Perhaps Tigerstar sent Hollyleaf images of Squirrelflight, Jayfeather and Lionblaze's dead bodies. Perhaps Tigerstar told Hollyleaf that Firestar would exile them all. Perhaps that was the 'red haze' Hollyleaf spoke of.

Or maybe Hollyleaf's state of mind was darker then readers originally thought. Maybe she was a murder all along...

I don't think so though, she was too happy and innocent in her apprentice days.

So...why, Hollyleaf?
